Minimalist design is an ongoing popular trend in bathroom interiors for some years now.  As the word minimalist indicates, declutter, a minimalist bathroom would be a place where the usage of furniture or any other objects would be reduced as much as possible.  The best way to achieve this is to use as little clutter as possible in your bathroom décor, this doesn’t mean leaving your bathroom without style!

It’s all about choosing things that have a function and using them to beautify your minimalist space, emphasising simplicity and creating a beautiful and stylish bathroom.

INCORPORATE FUNCTIONALITY IN YOUR BATHROOM DESIGN

Create your minimalist bathroom with great style by using clean lines, and creative storage, like wall-hung bathroom vanity units.  Under-basin storage is a great way of minimalising clutter, a simple design can make your bathroom feel calming and luxurious while being simple and functional.

If you are stuck for space, there is a short projection version of modular vanity units and slim fitted furniture available.

Also, when considering the Toilet you can get short projection toilets, opt for the fully back to wall as it helps create, should I say it again the MINIMAL look.  Please make sure you check with your plumber that this is optimal as some bathrooms are plumbed differently.

Another great way to store away all your cosmetics is bathroom mirror cabinets, the great thing is that nowadays they are not bulky and hanging out over the basin, Bathroom Mirror cabinets are now available in a slim projection and they can also be integrated into the wall, to give the streamline illusion with hidden storage. Mirrors are also a great way for reflecting light around a room opening up the space and offering a perfect minimalistic look. By using a Mirrored Cabinet you are minimising the products in the room as you have storage and your mirror in one place.

STICK WITH ONE TYPE OF BATHROOM FITTING

In today’s market, the world is your oyster when choosing bathrooms fittings, from the accessories to the shower you can choose from Chrome, Matt Black or Brushed Brass all matching in design. With all the brassware matching, it gives that clean streamlined feeling which encourages the eye to flow along the uniformed shapes, which achieves a great minimal bathroom.

SHOWERING AREA OF THE BATHROOM

The Showering area can also be incorporated with the colour of the bathroom fittings, by using a glass wetroom shower screen and choosing the same colour profile as your brassware, a wetroom panel will open up the space and elevate the feeling of your bathroom, too!

If you are not into shower cubicles or wetrooms and love your bath, there is fabulous slim back to wall freestanding baths available and you can have your taps fitted on the wall also giving you that lovely minimalist streamline finish. Maybe you have a big luxurious bathroom and can fit in both.

Use minimal shower fittings to encourage that open space, consider installing a rain head shower fitted from the ceiling.

When considering your storage for the shower area, opt for the minimal corner baskets or if this is an option for you, before tiling had a boxed shelf cut out in the wall, this is a great minimal design and leaves your shower products easy to access.

NOW FOR THE BATHROOM TILES

Ceramic tiles are versatile, functional, and easy to keep clean. For a clean, minimalist look, you should stick to a neutral colour palette like white, light grey and very light colours, pastels are back in fashion in the world of interior design. You can choose to add more personality to your space with a pop of colour, but do not overdo it. You should also avoid adding too many patterns or textures to your bathroom’s décor.

It is possible to get creative with your design, think of the shower area, you can feature your design or pop of colour here, or behind the basin is another great area to add character, so you can express yourself while keeping things minimal in your bathroom.

INCORPORATE BATHROOM LIGHTING

Lighting can be a simple way to add style to a minimalist bathroom, by using sleek integrated ceiling lighting and opting for the dimmable version can add ambience to the space. The bathroom cabinets I mentioned before are also available with led mood changing light, this can also give your bathroom just the right lighting.

PUTTING SOME DÉCOR IN THE BATHROOM

Don’t go covering your clean walls with pictures and cluttering up your lovely room, use some nature to décor your bathroom, potted plants are a perfect addition to any minimalist bathroom. They offer a fresh and cheerful look that complements the minimalist style.

I hope you get the bathroom of your dreams.
